The Zoom webinar will discuss whether recent environmental assessments of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) by Australia's reef science organisations properly reflect all the relevant scientific data. Starting times in other time zones are 6:30 pm QLD / 7:00 pm SA / 6:00 pm NT / 4:30 pm WA / 8:30 am GMT.

Last June UNECSO tabled a draft recommendation that, if adopted, would list the GBR as a World Heritage site “in danger”. That decision was based on assessments by the organisations in question that are open to serious challenge based on the data collected to the present time.

Our speakers will be Dr Peter Ridd, Jo Nova and Dr Walter Starck. They are experts in their field and knowledgeable about the issues to be discussed. Alan Moran will be the moderator.

Further details on the webinar and biographies on each of the speakers are available at the Zoom Registration Webpage created for the event CLICK HERE.

Once you register, Zoom will tell you how to access the ‘webinar room’ on 1 March.

Although attendance is free of charge, we ask attendees to consider making a donation to the AEF Bob Carter Memorial Fund, which is funding the webinar.
